The Methodist Church is a denomination of Christian Protestantism based on the teachings of John Wesley. Its largest branch is the United Methodist Church, with approximately 9 million members as of the late 1990s.
Traditionally, Methodism has believed in free will as opposed to predestination. This distinguishes it, historically, from Calvinist traditions such as Presbyterianism. However, today members of both churches are very similar in outlook.
